Black GT with Black Accent Package - White Stripes, Tint, Ceramic Coat, Spoiler, and Back Lugs - Wheels?

[yell03]

You all gave me great advice on ordering a spoiler, I ended up ordering the Ford Performance GT350 Trackpack spoiler.
On Monday it is going in for all of the above listed in the title of the thread.
I am doing a 2 year ceramic coat with paint correction, 20% tint, dual white stripes, the gt350 spoiler and Black Lug nuts.
My question is....
How will the stock 19x8.5" rims look? They are 42mm offset stock. I have seen pics of 19x8.5" with 30mm offset and they look good, they stick our further by 0.5", but I don't know if that makes a huge difference.
I will probably see how the stock wheels look and if I don't love them, I will make then winter wheels and tires and order a spring/summer set of wheels/tires in either 19" or 20" staggered in wider widths.
Here is the car now and what I am going for.
If it comes out as good as my Porsche I will be a happy camper. I did Black center caps on the Porsche after this pic, looks even better.

Black with white stripes — love it.

I’d vote 20” wheels with wide 35 series tires if you keep OEM springs or install minimum drop springs. For much lower cars go for 19”ers with wide 35 series.

I definitely will not lower it, so if it doesn't look great with the stock wheels I can do 20s in the spring.
I looked on AM at some 19x8.5s with 30mm offset, in pics it looked great.
My Porsche rims are actually the same size, the all-seasons spec out 1/2" less width even at same size rear tire.

Right on. For perspective, here is my GT with 20x10F, 20x11R with 275/35/20 and 295/35/20 respectively:

The car is lowered a bit on Ford Performance street springs (~1”F / .75” rear),

That looks great, I don't think I would go any wider than 9.5" from and 10.5" rear, but you never know.

I like the look you are going after. Had you thought about yellow stripes?

Steeda Progressive springs. 20x10 et 35 & 20x11 et50 with 285-35/20 and 315/35/20’s

I thought about metallic silver stripes, but white is my favorite. I keep thinking about leaving it black, but 85% of the time our first thinking is correct, so I will play the odds and stick with white stripes.

That stance looks great and the wheel and tire width is perfect. You have to get some rubbing over bumps.

I actually don’t have any rub marks on the tires, but it’s not a daily car and and most of the time I’m the only person on it and never have anyone in the back seats. I’m really happy with the stance for now (until I do coil overs)

I am 58, my back likes the soft stock ride. I switch back and forth daily driving the Stang and the Porsche, both ride nice.

the stand rode nice stock, but a little on the soft side for me.I got used to a lowered Z06 and my classic cars (65 A code 4 speed Fastback and 71Chevelle 454 SS 4 speed) but I do have a comfy F150 with a small lift with coil overs that makes a nice Daily.My next sports car will be a Porsche though, I’ve wanted one since I was a kid and it’s about time I finally get one. I want a GT3 but I’d have a hard time paying 100k over sticker and if I’m only going to have one in my life I’d like to order it exactly the way I want and manual transmission is a must, so I may settle for a Carerra S

I had a Raptor, nicest riding vehicle I have ever had. All Porsche prices new or used are insane right now. I bought mine CPO pre-owned right before the pricing went out of hand in 10/2020. My dream car was a 911 Turbo S and it was the lowest priced 991.1 in the Country so I grabbed it. If you go pre-owned, do CPO, Porsche repairs can be costly, this gives you 2 years to make sure all is good.
If you want a GT3, wait a bit and see if the prices come down. The Cayman GT4 is close to a GT3 at a much lower price, but if you want a 911 get a 911.

my first Porsche has to be a 911, I’m still trying to decide if it has to be air cooled
As well. A 993 Turbo would also be a serious contender.

20% tint is done, spoiler is on, paint correction is done. They started the stripes and are waiting for more Gloss White to come in so they can finish. Then ceramic coat. Here it is so far.
